Attentive - Throurgh - Friendly

After searching the World Wide Web for the right lawyer. I stumbled across Caroly really for some advice. Not certain if I was going to continue using her, she was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable that it seemed crazy looking elsewhere. However, being the business man I am; i spoke to a furth...er 5 lawyers and none of them came close to the service I had already received from Caroly. It was a no-brainier and we put our faith in Caroly. When using her services she was always willing to talk and was always on the other end of the line despite being 3000 miles away. She knew exactly what she was talking about and always approached the situation directly, speaking to us in simple language without the need to confuse us with legal talk. She was a fountain of knowledge and should a potential problem be on the horizon, she would not only identify it before anyone else but she would already have an extensive list of solutions which eliviated any stress. Finally any work produced by Caroly was of the finest quality which stood out from any other. Professional in nature and appearance... It's clear this woman is a cut above the rest. I highly recommend this woman for any legal assistance required and I'll be sure to have the contact details saved to the top of my list. Thank you for your help Caroly. Another success story.

Caroly has done a great job with us. She always provided information about our options, case status with patient and well understanding. She was always available for answering our questions, even at late hours.

Best with EB5. Honest attorney.

I wanted a Green Card through the EB5 program. Met several Lawyers, some of them very high end, who asked me a lot of money for their services, and advised me Regional centers and projects. I usually go with my instincts. Although some of this guys were high end lawyers, my gut said NO! I was ven...ting on Facebook, is there any HONEST LAWYER somewhere? One of my Brazilian friends told me: my immigration attorney is honest! I had time, so what diference makes to have an interview with one more? I had been through 4 or 5!!! I met Caroly. She was very sweet and friendly. She told me she only would advise me to go with the Vermont project. My gut said: she is ok, you can trust her, she will do a good job. So, I hired her and I got my provisory Green Card and 2 years later I got my Permanent Green Card. I still didn't exit the EB5 Investment, I hope I can do that with her help next year, and get my investment money back. Caroly Peterson is a HONEST LAWYER, she is like an endangered species. My name is Ana, you can call her and ask her my phone number, and you can visit me and I will show you all you want to know. She is very good at what she does, she is sweet, she is very reasonable priced. A true GEM!

We would highly recommend Ms. Pedersen for your attorney.

From our first visit till Green Card/Change of Status was approved was ONLY 84 days! Ms. Pedersen handled our case as if we were family. A friendly and professional attitude in all matters. Caroly followed up with personal phone calls on all events and any questions we had. Her fees were FAR below... any other quotes we had received and we will be forever grateful. Not only do we now have a great attorney but a good friend too. A hat off to your hard working staff also. Thanks......

Professional and Friendly

I had a very good experience with Caroly. She helped me through my immigration application with enviable professionalism and courtesy. Everything she explained materialized in the way that she said it would, and her timeline was accurate. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an imm...igration attorney.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2005.

Public Reprimand - with Conditions issued in FL, 2005

updated on 10/06/2015

Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior and places conditions on the lawyer's license.

Caroly’s comment:

“The case involved an advertising error only, there was never any issue relating to my representation of a client. It was a technical violation of the Florida Bar rules relating to ads only.”
